Bruno Lage is thrilled with Enzo Barrenechea and Richard Ríos, Benfica's reinforcements in the summer transfer window. Our newspaper reveals, in this Glorious 1904 Exclusive, that the red coach is very pleased with the work done by the eagles' officials in the market, with special attention to the midfield duo who have been practically always starters so far.
They were two of the heavyweights who arrived at the Club of Light this season: Enzo Barrenechea and Richard Ríos came to cause a revolution in the midfield of Benfica, which was completely modified compared to last season. However, in Bruno Lage's opinion, this is already a winning bet.
But also the attitude they have shown in the eagles' training, an important factor for the Portuguese coach.
Moreover, this inclination of the Benfica coach seems clear. In addition to having launched the duo as starters in the eagles' midfield at the first opportunities, Bruno Lage has more than once made a point of leaving compliments, either to Enzo Barrenechea or to Richard Ríos.
Remember that the Spaniard, who arrived from Aston Villa, and the Colombian - who received good news recently, and came from Palmeiras - required substantial investments from Benfica. However, for Bruno Lage, the amounts paid are already compensating, considering the record that the eagles have so far, always with the same 'engine room', powered by Enzo Barrenechea and Richard Ríos.
